In accordance with the adoption of an 

 amendment to the Constitution of the A. 

 A. A. S., Drs. Bessey and Halsted were 

 chosen to represent the Society on the 

 Council of the Association at the sessions 

 just finished. 



A committee consisting of Drs. Wm. Tre- 

 lease, N". L. Britton and B. L, Robinson 

 was appointed to report upon the condition 

 of the National Herbarium, and to recom- 

 mend changes for its improvement. 



As a result of consideration of the report 

 of the committee on the policy of the Soci- 

 ety appointed a year ago, it was resolved 

 " That it is the present policy of the Society 

 to accumulate invested funds until the an- 

 nual income, interest and dues, is at least 

 $500, and then to use such income yearlj'^, 

 or at greater or less intervals, as circum- 

 stance may dictate, for the best advance- 

 ment of botanical knowledge." 



The address of the retiring President at 

 the next annual meeting will be delivered 

 by Professor B. D. Halsted, who presided 

 over the session, and whose term of office 

 has just expired.
